How to put a referee or staff member on a game

Each game on the Calendario page has its own Árbitros and Personal buttons. Use them to put someone on one game, or to change who automatic assignment chose. The people and teams you name yourself stay when you assign referees automatically again; a place such as a seed doesn’t.

Before you start

• You need to manage the event or its schedule, or its referees for Árbitros and its staff for Personal.
• Referees come from the Árbitros page (see how to add referees and see their workload), and staff from the Personal page (see how to add staff and volunteers).
• If referees or staff are locked, the button is hidden: unlock them first. See how to lock parts of your event.

Put a referee on a game

1. On your event’s Calendario page, click a game. Its card shows what you can do to it, such as Árbitros and Personal.

   

2. Click Árbitros.

   

3. Click Elegir un árbitro. The list shows your referees under Árbitros, then the teams of this game’s division under Equipos. A referee marked • Ya estás arbitrando en este horario is on another game at the same time and can’t be picked. The other marks are explained below.

   

4. Pick the referee. To add another one, click Agregar árbitro in the window and pick again.

   

5. Click Guardar.

   

Put a staff member on a game

1. With the game still selected, click Personal.

   

2. Click Elegir personal and pick the person. Each is shown with their role. To add another one, click Agregar personal in the window.

   

3. Click Guardar.

   

4. Press Esc to put the game’s buttons away. Its card names its referees, then its staff with their role. If the cards are too small to show them, zoom in with the magnifier buttons at the start of the toolbar.

   

Change or remove someone

Click the game, then Árbitros or Personal again. Pick someone else in a row to replace that person, or click the bin (Eliminar) beside the row to take them off, then click Guardar.

What the lists warn you about

The Árbitros list checks this game and the others at the same time:

• A referee already on another of them can’t be picked, and is marked • Ya estás arbitrando en este horario.
• A team playing in one of them can’t be picked, and is marked • Actualmente jugando. A team refereeing another one is marked • Ya estás arbitrando en este horario, but you can still pick it.
• Referees whose Tipos de Balón leave out this division’s ball aren’t listed.
• The list can also offer places, such as a seed or the winner or loser of a playoff game; the team fills in once it’s known. A place decided after this game starts can’t be picked, and is marked Se decide después de que empiece este partido.

The Personal list checks nothing. Once you save, the schedule’s warnings catch the rest: a referee or staff member on two games that overlap, or one whose account also plays at that time, a team refereeing while it plays, or a referee on three or more games in a row.
